purpose hereinafter indicated, and this arl-lu'v may haveformed integral therewith van acf tuating lever 30. The ls h'aft ZGalso' has-sev cured thereto at Aafpoint-in alinement witli'j the ax-isof the carluireting` chamber, a' throt. tlc arm 33 (Fig. 2), preferably a duplicate i of the arm 28, that projects into the cham-' l0(- ber through a'narrow slot in VVan obvious ina-nner. The arm 33 receives a crossfpin yas 34 upon which a-.throttle rod is susi pended, said rod having its lower end guided-in a boss 36 on a laterally openingl intake member 38 secured to the casing 3 in any desired manner. Upon the throttle rod is rigidly secured a substantially conical member or pure airvalve e0 having its lower edge 4l conforming to a seat l2 onanother f member with respect to whichthe rod is capable of relative movement and the last mentioned member is normally' held in cngagement with the member 40 by a compression spring 43, one Yend of which abuts a collar 44 on thev rod. rlhe member with respect to which the rod ismovable is made up of the cross wall /tand an upwardly taperingl conical lportion 48 with which Ythe cross Wall' merges, and isrperforated at 49 from which it'wllbe seen that the space between the cross wall and the member lt() is constantlyv in communication with the atmosphere. The members Il() and e15-48 to-v gether constitute a throttle valve; and, when the parts are in the position indicated in Fig. 2, air is admitted to the mixing chamber'through the perforations 49 without any flow of fuel from the notches 12. e

The ineans for rrotating the fuel valve aboutthe axis of the mixing chamber will 'now bedescribed-Suspended from a pin 5() that passes through the slot 29 in the arm 28 is a cam carrier support 5l having its lower endslottedv at 52 to inclose a headed screw 58' that projects from the casing, and

having its upper end :S4/guided in a per-orated lug 5,5 on the casing. The' support 5l i "includes two guides 56 and ar connecting plate 58 which mayv be detachably secured thereto byscreWs 59; and slidable in' the guides isa cam carrier GO that may be adjusted towardfand from the pin Ql'by means ofthe screw 61,threaded in the yoke 62, the .ends of which pass through the plate 58 and the cam carrier 60 and are riveted on the opposite side of the latter. Screws 64, that maybe accessible with a driver through the holesl in the plate 58, or which may have heads G6, extend through Vthe cam carrierandarerigidly secured to a 'flexible cam"67, preferably formed of il;;,S'trip of thin metal,l that'engages the pin 21 on the fuel val've.""Sincje` the screws may be .inde- 'pendetlyadjusted, it follows that the cam Y may be. given any desired contour.

When'the throttle is closed, the memberl i5-'A8' fits into the flaring lower `end of the fuel valve and the member-40 is held in en! gagement.- therewith by the spring 43. At `this ltirneVtlie notches 18 are maintained out of alinement with the notches liby the action of" the spring consequently', neither fuel norairis xifdmitted to the mixing chamber.A The throttle being opened and the camr ibeing 'properly adjusted, for ein ample, as shown inv Fig.' 3, the simultaneous Licorne vertical movement of the cam carrier support causes the pin 2l and fuel valve lo turn about a vertical axis,\\"i1ereby the` higher speeds to that consistent with econonly, a wide range of adjustment beingr provided for.V The curvature necessary to cause the required relative opening of the fuel orifices throughout t. e 1 various stages of speed having been imparted to the cam 67 by the screwsil, the screw 61 affords means whereby the cam may be moved 'bodily toward or from the pin 21t0 vary the amount of fuel delivered without disturbing the rate in which 1t is-fed at one ,time with respect to the rate of delivery ,at-ahylother period.

This, therefore, cons: .tutes a convenientmeans for securing a quantitative fuel Aadjustment suitable to conditions of weather or altitude. nd not only is a proper supply of 'fuel secured asconeerns quantity, but the fuel is applied to a thin sheet of air in such Imanner in all instances as to allow a2 maximum atomizing action to take place.

The engine may. be'used asa brake on motor vehicles while coasting or may be cooled by simply thrustingthe throttle lever (from initial or closed position) in a direcv tion opposite to that in which it is moved Vfor opening purposes,-whereupon the vsec 'ondary valve 40 assumes the relation to the member 15e-48indicated infFig. 2, and air only is admitted to the mixing chamber.

The embodiment shown in Fig. Lldill'ers from that previously described mainly in the arrangement of the float chamber and in the reversal. of the throttle and fuel valves,

with consequent reversal in the VIlow of all;

The fuel reserwr'firv 70 in this instance. is formed integrally with and surrounds the lcarlnireting chamber casing' 71, and the annular float 72 controls the lever of liquid.

The upper endlof thevcasinv' isfaeed at 73 and provided with the annular fuel duct 74x to which liquid passes through the passage 75, Threaded on theupper end of the casf ing Z1 is the intake member 76, to which air is admitted. through' a pipe 7 8 that may lead` to any desired source of warm air as, ,for example, a point adjacent the exhaust manifold. A plate ll clamped bet-Ween the face 73 and the member 76 performs the same function as the plate 11 .shown inFigl,

The casing 'z'l and 'the member 76 are' shaped to form a ralreseat T8 upon which rests the tapering lower end 79 of a fuel valve3 the tubular body portion 8l of which is provided with slots 82 for the admission of air from an annular passage 83 in the membei Q5; while a throttle valve, consisting of the members 85 and 30 that coi-respond in operation and differ but slightly m structure, respectively, from the members 40, 45-4, controls the flow of air. The throttle rod S8, guided in a spider 89 on the member 71 and in the plug 00 threaded into the upper end of the intake member, is surrounded by a spring 92 that tends to hold the throttle valve upon its seat. As shown,

the upper end of the rod has secured there to a grooved collar 91 into which is received the yoked end 02 of an arm 93 rigid with the throttle shaft 94.

VIt will be understood that a movement of the throttle shaft for the purpose of opening or closing the throttle valve imparts a simultaneous movement to the fuel valve, and for this purpose a cam and cam actuating means such as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is provided (not shown, since these elements are on the side of the carbureter between the eye and the section plane 'in Fig. 4). The operation of the device is substantially the same as that of the form previously described. f

The modifications illustrated in Figs. 3 and 9 `differ from that shown in Fig. 4 primarily in that the fuel valve moves vertically rather than angularly.

Referring to Fig. 8, the mixing chamber casing 100 has its lower end of increased diametef to receive the ductA plate 101 (in ahich is formed the annular fuel duct 102 which receives its vfuel through the passage 103 from any suitable source), the jet plate 11, the annular clamping plate 104 and the threaded intake member 105. The latter is shaped to form a valve seat 100, and has a valve guide 103 threaded into its'lower end, through which the rod 109 carrying the tapering valve 110 isvertically slidable. Upon its lower end the rod rests upon an arm 112 secured to a connecting rod 113 that passes through a lug 114 on the casing 100 and has its upper end offset at 113 to aline with a throttle lever 114 to which it is connected by the pinand-slot 115'. The throttle lever is pivotally supported on the casing at 11G and has a lug or short arlu 11S that engages with one end of a lever 119 pivoted to the casing at 121): the opposite end of the lever 110 supportsv the tubular 'fuel valve 120 and imparls movement thereto through the pin 121 'and slot 122, the fuel valve being normally held in position to close the fuel orifices by a spring 123 secured to the pill 121 and anchored to the casing at 124. As the throttle lever is thrown countcrclockwise to depress the throttle valve, the pin 121 and valve 120 are elevated to open the fuel orifices; and in order to secure a progressive increase in the total free fuel opening. the lower edge of the valve 120 is provided with a series of notches leadinr inwardly through the wall thereof 124 (one for each notch 12 in the orifice plate) of diH'erent depths whereby the fuel orifices are opened one after another. By properly locating the notches, the range of mixtures may be varied to suit the demands of the engine under a wide range of conditions.

In Fig. 9, as in Fig. 4, the direction of flow of air is downward and the fuel reservoir 125 is formed with and surrounds the mixing chamber casing 126. The latter is, however, extended downward and laterally at 128 and provided with an ordinary butterfiy valve 129, the shaft 130 of which is secured to the operating lever 131. Slidablc vertically in the intake member 132 is a tubular valve 133, the counterpart of valve 120, from which a pin 134 projects through a slot 135 and a link 136 that is pivoted at 137 to the lever 131. A spring 138 attached to the pin 134 and anchored to the casing at 139 tends to hold the valve 133 in the position shown. The fuel passage 14-0, annular duct 141, jet-plate 142 and clamping plate 143 are the same as previously described; and the operation of the foregoing elements is substantially the Same as that of the modification shown in Fig. 8, except as concerns the reverse fiow of the air. Threaded into the end of the intake member is a spider 143 that, together with the threaded spider 144 on the casing 120, constitutes a guide for the air current controlling cone 145, adjustment of which is secured by manipulating the finger piece 140 in an obvious manner.

It is clear that many changes may he made in the details of construction without departing from the spirit of my invention; for example, the notches or passages for the fuel from the annular duct to the mixing chamber may be cut either in the wall of the mixing chamber casing or in the wall of the intake chamber. I do not, therefore, wish to be limited otherwise than as indicated by the subjoined claims.
